Ron Gilbert is trying to get the rights to Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion from Disney

Ron Gilbert, the creator of Monkey Island, has asked Disney to sell him the rights to two of his beloved franchises, Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion.

On Twitter, Gilbert offered to buy the rights to both franchises (though he misspelled Maniac Mansion). Disney gained the rights to both franchises after acquiring LucasArts in 2012, but has since shutdown its console game development division.

Gilbert had worked on the first two games in the Monkey Island franchise, The Secret of and LeChuck’s Revenge. He also developed Maniac Mansion in 1987. Gilbert’s next title is Thimbleweed Park, a point-and-click adventure game in the style of Monkey Island. The game is set for release on Xbox One and PC in January 2017.
